trans-am camaro fusion

i cant come to a conclusion on my own so i'm asking all 3rd genners what they think of my project, im not the first to do this but i dont know if its a good idea or a bad idea, the thing is i have a trans-am, my floor and frame is well lets just say my car was canadian winter driving, my buddy is selling his american driven ( spotless floor and frame ) camaro, i had the idea of buying his camaro for 1000$ and making a f-body with a camaro rear and trans-am front, i myself like and dislike the idea because i dont know if it will look cheesy, so i'm asking would it be stupid to do the "fusion"

if anyone has pictures of this been done plz post, i wanna know what i'm looking foward too ...

Nubird recently posted pictures of his firebird/camaro, but his was done the opposite of your idea with a firebird back and a camaro front end.
looks pretty decent.

If you look up the post "my transmaro is almost done" in the search he has pics, and it may give you an idea how to go about it.
I havn't seen the camaro rear with a firebird front but I'm sure it can be done in the same fashion.

or you could simply fix up the camaro, it's all up to your sense of style (and budget)

If I may suggest

I kinda like the rear end of my firebird. A lot. With the bigger tires it looks effing great. Try havin someone drive it and drive behind it. Its just scary how great it is. that and the tail lights look 5x better. then again, i just like the bird more than the maro. But the front of the bird would look pretty cool with a maro rear, also.

Wouldn't it be a lot of fabrication to put a Firebird front end on a Camaro? And wiring too for the lights? Or no?

Right, but the Firebird headlights have a whole relay system IIRC.
